Hi guys....Well, heres how things went on Fri...I got up at 5.30am, got the 6.50 train to Dublin, arrived in the hospital at 8.45am...spoke to the receptionist etc and then SAT ON A CHAIR UNTIL 4.30 that afternoon (I kid you not) ...I was last in the queue it seems. Anyway, I had the angio and my arteries are fine. He didnt manage to make the VT happen, so nothing was ''ablated''. I did however go into a.fib (nasty feeling,crazy chaotic fluttering) and the last thing I remember is hearing the cardio say ''is she still concious'', a nurse asked me was I ok, I said yes (I wasnt ok,but I was concious), cardio said ''get the pads on her 'NOW', and that was it in that second I went out like a light....I have a slight memory or a 'feeling' of the shock...and then waking up in the lift on the way back to the ward. My chest is sore where the pads were and my skin is very pink, Im assuming caused by the electric shock.
My hr is a bit fast since...its around 90 at rest and as soon as I walk even across the room it shoots up and im very sob. It was the same in the hospital yesterday, but they let me home so I guess its ok??
I didnt get to speak to the cardio, but his reg. came to the ward Fri night and said that they hadnt been able to ablate anything, and Dr. Foley wanted me to stop all tabs, including aspirin. He also said the mvr is ''moderate''.
So, after all that, Im not really any better off. Today I have a sharp pain between my shoulder blades, feel weak etc. I drove my daughter into town about an hour ago (about 1 mile) and Iv felt 'weird' since I got back? Im due a follow up visit to cardio in 6 weeks. Back to the 'waiting game' it seems !!!
THANKS AGAIN EVERYONE FOR YOUR SUPPORT. I hope your all doing well..i(ts funny, in hospital yesterday, I thought of you all and wondered how your all doing !!!)
